Interview with our BottleRock Napa Spotlight Band: New Politics at their Fillmore headlining show

March 16, 2018

One thing is certain, New Politics are the must-see band of this year’s BottleRock Napa Festival. From the moment we heard they would be on the lineup, we were excited for everyone to catch their performance. It was nearly eight years ago when I was first introduced to New Politics. They were an opening band for The Spill Canvas at Slim’s in San Francisco and ten seconds into their set, we were blown away. They gave us a performance that raised the hairs on our neck, full on non-stop energy and intensity.  Fast forward to 2018 and New Politics still succeed at delivering that level of intensity and magic on stage. We recently caught their return performance at the legendary Fillmore for their headlining tour in support of their new album, Lost In Translation. It was another magical evening as their stage presence electrifies the crowd and everyone is instantly infused with bliss. Check out some photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: Need more New Politics, check out our slideshow: The Lost In [Read More]

March 15, 2018

FOZZY the active rock band fronted by Chris Jericho made a stop in San Francisco for their Judas Rising 2018 Tour. The headlining tour is in support of their album  JUDAS, released in October 2017. The kick ass album continues to dominate top album lists as it delivers non-stop high energy rock. Chris commented on the tour, “I’m stoked to do this extensive tour of the States now that ‘Judas,’ the song, is a Top 5 rock radio hit and Judas, the album, has gone top 40! Fozzy is bigger than we’ve ever been, which means bigger production, bigger songs and bigger lighted jackets! So we can’t wait to rock your literal socks off starting in February!! JUDAS IS RISING!” One thing is certain, they truly rocked the socks of Slim’s. The show kicked right off with their title track and the crowd immediately went wild. Chris has such an amazing stage presence that you can’t help but fully engulf yourself in the rock. The intensity only grew with each song as the band delivered a flawless performance. [Read More]

ZZ Ward wraps up The Storm tour on a sea of love in LA. By Patrick O’Heffernan

March 14, 2018

  Patrick O’Heffernan (Hollywood) Pure, unconditional love.  That is the only way to describe the sold-out crowd at the last concert of  ZZ Ward’s Storm Tour in the Fonda Theater Thursday night.  Many of those fans had traveled hundreds of miles to see her and they let her know how much they loved her.  And Ward returned the love many times over.   Striding on stage after a killer set by Black Pistol Fire, rocking her signature Fedora, studded black leather low rider pants and a skin colored sleeveless top, Ward launched into “Let It Burn” with an intensity that got the audience screaming in the first verse.  When she pulled out her harmonica the screaming went nonstop. Moving from “Let it Burn” to “Ghost” and then onto “Put the Gun Down” with her acoustic guitar, the blues rock goddess’s country-curl rock voice vibrated all the way to the back row of the packed balcony.   Power and confidence flowed from the stage and loved flowed back. That love has been building since 2012 when she [Read More]

The Word Alive – Munich – Technikum – January 30th, 2018 Not a headliner show this time. The Word Alive were opening for Falling In Reverse. But no matter what, the band always gives it their all. Clearly their fanbase is growing in Germany, because parts of the audience seem to have been there only to watch them play. Currently they are working on a new record, which will be released this year and with a bit of luck, Germany will see the band live again this year.
